The Doll Eyelash Extensions Guide 101

Understanding your eye shape and facial features will clarify what style will enhance your looks. One of the most famous styles is Doll eyelash extensions.

As cliched and self-explanatory as this style sounds, it is worth knowing more about what it is, the recommended eye shape for them, and how long they last. So let’s start discussing.

What are doll-type eyelash extensions?

Doll eyelash extensions are a style of eyelash extensions. It is designed to give you an innocent and charming appearance reminiscent of a doll’s eyes. They feature longer lashes in the center, gradually tapering towards the outer corners of the lash line.

So it gives the eyes a wide-eyed and rounded look. Achieving this style requires a careful selection of lash curl, thickness, and length to enhance the overall effect. Doll eyelash extensions are a preferred choice for those seeking a playful and sweet gaze, with a focus on the central features of the eyes.

How do artists create Doll Eyelash Extensions?

Doll eyelash extensions are a combination of different lash extension techniques and styles. Let’s take a look at how artists create doll lash extensions:

Mapping

To achieve the required look, the artist will adopt a specific doll eye mapping pattern and adapt it to make it suitable for your eye shape.

The artist will then place the extensions following the created pattern starting from the inner corner by placing the shortest extensions. The general starting point for this is an 8 mm lash extension.

After that, he will increase the length of extensions towards the middle of the eye, and the estimated length here is 12 mm.

Then the last step will be to create a smooth transition towards the outer corner, generally using the same length extensions that were applied in the inner corner area.

After that you will get a clean eyelash row, with a longer length of lashes at the middle of the eye and slightly shorter length at the edges, giving the eyes a rounded appearance. 

Techniques 

The technicians achieve this style of lash extension by using different techniques depending on the natural lash length and wishes of the client. However, the most popular doll lash extension techniques are:

• Classic doll lash extensions: One extension is glued to one natural lash and the most natural looking doll eye effect is achieved.
• 2D volume eyelashes: Two extensions get glued to one natural eyelash. This technique is suitable when you have thin and weak lashes and need more volume with lash extensions.
• 3D volume eyelashes: This option is suitable if you want to achieve a dramatic look. It’s the most popular option where three lash extensions are glued to one natural eyelash.

Curls

The curl you pick plays a major role in getting the desired doll eye effect just right. A skilled lash artist will always tell you that the stronger the curl, the more pressure on your natural lashes. So, choosing the right curl type matters a lot:

• C curl: This is a medium curl having a beautiful lift from the side. In many cases, this curl type is used for classic doll eyelash extensions.
• CC curl lashes: The CC curl gives a more dramatic look to your lash extensions.
• D curl lashes: This is the perfect curl for creating voluminous Doll eyelashes. It is also best for correcting wide-set eye shapes.

For whom doll eyelash extensions are suitable?

Doll eyelash extensions are a versatile choice. However, they might be particularly suitable for you if you have certain preferences and characteristics. If you’re looking to achieve an innocent, wide-eyed, and playful appearance, then this lash type may seem appealing to you. 

When we talk about particular characteristics, this style will look flattering on you if you have naturally round or large eyes, as it will enhance their natural shape and create a doll-like, charming effect. 

Doll eyes lash extensions can also be a great choice for you if you want to save time on your daily makeup routine. 

However, keep in mind that the suitability of doll eyelash extensions also depends on your eyelash health and personal style preferences. A consultation with a professional technician can help you find the best lash extension style to complement your eye shape and overall look.

Although doll eyelash extensions may make many people seem better, some people should be cautious or stay away from them completely. 

Lash extensions should be avoided by women who already have eye disorders such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, or dry eye syndrome since the additional weight of extensions and glue may make these problems worse. 

To avoid negative reactions, women who are known to be sensitive to or allergic to lash glue should also avoid using them. Furthermore, those who often rub or wipe their eyes—such as those who have ocular irritation—may prematurely lose their lash extensions. 

How long do Doll lash extensions last?

Like other lash extension types, doll lash extensions have a similar lifetime as your natural lash cycle, which is around 4 to 6 weeks. Your doll eyelash extensions will start to fall out when your natural lashes start to grow.

However, you can increase the longevity of their effect by booking a touch-up with your technician, 2-3 weeks after the initial treatment. Proper aftercare also plays a part in the longevity of the results and effectiveness of the treatment.

Cat vs doll eyelash extensions

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between the cat and doll eyelashes. The easiest way to remember is that the cat-eye lashes typically begin short on the inner corner and gradually lengthen towards the outer corner. 

On the other hand, doll lashes have shorter extensions on both the inner and outer corners, creating a spiked appearance resembling a pitchfork—short, long, and short again. This distinction helps you choose the lash style that suits your preference.

How do I take Care of them?

Here are a few essential aftercare steps: 

• For the first 24-48 hours, don’t get your lashes wet. It’s a must after-care step as it will ensure that your lash adhesive gets dried completely.
• Clean your lashes twice every day with a fine bristled brush (specially intended for this purpose) and a Foam Cleanser.
• Avoid heat and steam from BBQs, saunas, ovens, and steam rooms.
• Avoid waterproof makeup, especially for eyes and do avoid oil-based makeup removers.
• Don’t face-plant your pillow while sleeping
• Don’t perm, curl, or tint your lash extensions 
• Keep them full and pretty by getting regular fills every 2-4 weeks.
• Avoid the base area of the lash extensions when brushing 

Conclusion

In conclusion, the key to achieving the perfect look with eyelash extensions lies in understanding your eye shape and selecting the right style, and this holds particularly true for doll eyelash extensions.

Doll eye extensions can work wonders, giving your eyes a larger and rounder appearance, and creating a flattering doll-like look. However, it’s essential to consider your natural eye shape.
